Edge-functionalized coal-derived graphene oxide in bacterial nanocellulose hydrogel for active wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:132589. [PMID: 38788882 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
This work presents a comparison of physicochemical and in vitro active wound healing properties of two distinct graphene oxides (GOs) from graphene and coal. These GOs are incorporated in Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) to form hydrogels. The performance and limitations of the loading fraction of both GOs in BNC are controlled by the processing technology and the source materials from which GOs are derived. Edge functionalization with C-GO offers an advantage of facilitating edge-to-face assembly in the hydrogel leading to better dispersion compared to the face-to-face assembly of basal functionalized G-GO. The latter leads to more aggregation of G-GO, resulting in a lower optimal loading fraction. Our investigation into the antibacterial properties of the BNC and BNC/GO hydrogels against gram-negative E. coli revealed inhibitory effects of the BNC/GO hydrogels that intensified with an increase in the concentration of GO. Furthermore, an in vitro wound scratch assay demonstrated that BNC/C-GO hydrogels promote better cell migration, confirming their superior biocompatibility and suitability as active wound dressings, albeit limited by loading fraction due to agglomeration. These findings shed light on the performance and limitations of GOs for diverse applications, emphasizing the significance of exploring the influence of different methods and source materials of GOs.

Abstract
In recent years, a significant amount of drugs have been taken orally, which are not as effective as desired. To solve this problem, bacterial cellulose-based dermal/transdermal drug delivery systems (BC-DDSs) with unique properties such as cell compatibility, hemocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties, and the ability to encapsulate various therapeutic agents with the controlled release have been introduced. A BC-dermal/transdermal DDS reduces first-pass metabolism and systematic side effects while improving patient compliance and dosage effectiveness by controlling drug release through the skin. The barrier function of the skin, especially the stratum corneum, can interfere with drug delivery. Few drugs can pass through the skin to reach effective concentrations in the blood to treat diseases. Due to their unique physicochemical properties and high potential to reduce immunogenicity and improve bioavailability, BC-dermal/transdermal DDSs are widely used to deliver various types of drugs for disease treatment. In this review, we describe the different types of BC-dermal/ transdermal DDSs, along with a critical discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of these systems. After the general presentation, the review is focused on recent advances in the preparation and applications of BC-based dermal/transdermal DDSs in various types of disease treatment.

Nanocellulose composite wound dressings for real-time pH wound monitoring. Mater Today Bio 2023; 19:100574.

Abstract
The skin is the largest organ of the human body. Wounds disrupt the functions of the skin and can have catastrophic consequences for an individual resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Wound infections are common and can substantially delay healing and can result in non-healing wounds and sepsis. Early diagnosis and treatment of infection reduce risk of complications and support wound healing. Methods for monitoring of wound pH can facilitate early detection of infection. Here we show a novel strategy for integrating pH sensing capabilities in state-of-the-art hydrogel-based wound dressings fabricated from bacterial nanocellulose (BC). A high surface area material was developed by self-assembly of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) in BC. By encapsulating a pH-responsive dye in the MSNs, wound dressings for continuous pH sensing with spatiotemporal resolution were developed. The pH responsive BC-based nanocomposites demonstrated excellent wound dressing properties, with respect to conformability, mechanical properties, and water vapor transmission rate. In addition to facilitating rapid colorimetric assessment of wound pH, this strategy for generating functional BC-MSN nanocomposites can be further be adapted for encapsulation and release of bioactive compounds for treatment of hard-to-heal wounds, enabling development of novel wound care materials.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is currently one of the most popular environmentally friendly materials with unique structural and physicochemical properties for obtaining various functional materials for a wide range of applications. In this regard, the literature reporting on bacterial nanocellulose has increased exponentially in the past decade. Currently, extensive investigations aim at promoting the manufacturing of BC-based nanocomposites with other components such as nanoparticles, polymers, and biomolecules, and that will enable to develop of a wide range of materials with advanced and novel functionalities. However, the commercial production of such materials is limited by the high cost and low yield of BC, and the lack of highly efficient industrial production technologies as well. Therefore, the present review aimed at studying the current literature data in the field of highly efficient BC production for the purpose of its further usage to obtain polymer nanocomposites. The review highlights the progress in synthesizing BC-based nanocomposites and their applications in biomedical fields, such as wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering. Bacterial nanocellulose-based biosensors and adsorbents were introduced herein.
